Love, patience and understanding

Pet care experience

I understand animals. I have 5 cats that I rescued because they wouldn't have been able to survive outdoors. I have one little pup, Roscoe.. he is 12 years old and the sweetest little dude. I have a Timneh African Grey parrot, he talks a lot and gets along with cats and dogs. They are all so polite and well behaved and they all get along. I am experienced with elderly animals, cats dogs, birds, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, horses... pretty much anything. I am experienced with administering medication. I love animals for so many reasons because they teach us patience and unconditional love. They have become my best friends. My home is super clean, safe, relaxing and has a beautiful view of the lake where they watch the ducks, birds, otters, turtles and squirrels from my screened in patio. It's a hidden oasis.

Katie was amazing from the start date until the end. She is very professional and she communicated every detail of my cat, she also send daily photos to keep me updated with my cat transition to Katie's home while I was on vacation. I highly recommend Katie, she loves animals, you have to meet jer parrot Paco, he's the cutest ever and he talks haha! Very cute! My cat was veey well taking care off. Katie gave my cat medication, my cat has diabetes and Katie has no problem to administrate the insulin as instructed. Very satisfied with her service. Will definitely use her again soon as my pet sitter. Thank you Katie.

I've known Katie for about 8 years now and I can safely say she loves animals more than anyone I know. I've seen her pet sit and she does an amazing job. She's very attentive and will take care of any special needs that may come up. I would trust her with my pets without hesitation.

Katie does an outstanding job with my fur baby and gives constant attention and care for over four years She knows how to brush a long hair former show dog, fix top knots and not afraid of preparing special meals She will even share her bed with your dog She keeps my place tidy and clean as well as the dog Very trusting and honest with following instructions prepared for her stay. Worth paying extra for care for your pets. She is our extended family over the years.

She really loves animals and over the last 6-7 years she has been watching my dog she has become family. I think my dog sometimes prefers to stay there instead of with me. When I come to her house she runs off leash directly to her door, her second home

Safety is number one for me when I have your pup in my care. I really do treat them as if they were mine. My condo is gated and safe and quiet. My screened in porch is a great place for the animals to hang out and relax.

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

My preference for dogs is that they have a calm demeanor and that they're house trained. I have cats and they get along fine with almost every dog.

A typical day

I take dogs on long walks and jogs. When it's hot in Florida I won't take them out for very long. I like taking them to parks as well.
